Davina - you've had several posts saying yes - go ahead and one from me making an observation which you don't like and this is your reaction. How will you react if someone really lays into you which you suggested in your first post might happen? Like Nero said - the reactions you will get will vary and you have to be able to take the criticisms as well as the praise. After all you did say "actually, I don't really mind how you reply as I really would like to just get this all off my chest and be done with" do you really mean that?

Sorry to sound cruel Davina but it sounds to me like you need validation. Not sure if this is the right place to come for it.

Keep it short and sweet as others have suggested and don't assume that everyone is interested in a long rambling stories of the past. Most people want you to hurry up so they can continue with the partying.

At last some sense re the smoking ban in Britain

Even in London items that are large have to be delivered somehow. Two or three carpet fitters on bicycles just wouldn't be able to take an entire hall carpet!! or John Lewis delivering white goods...... -

Smoking could be eradicated today with the will-power of smokers. I am sure that we need to find alternatives eventually to cars and their ilk, but its not going to happen today or tomorrow and needs a lot more than just will-power. -

Maybe because cars and other road vehicles are a necessity whilst smoking is a habit. -

If there was a way to have smoking and non-smoking establishments then that would probably be the best way forward - the number of bar staff that I see outside having a cigarette, rather than at the end of the bar, makes me think that the ban has done nothing for them. I personally like being able to have a drink without secondary smoke and the smell that lingers on my clothes and hair - however if others are happier smoking..... However I am not sure that practically this would work.... -

Since when has wanting a glass of wine in a pub made one a freak? I don't particuarly like the CPT - not because of the 'ordinary non pretentious people' (although to think of yourself in such a way is pretty pretentious in itself surely!) but because I am not particuarly impressed by the choice of beers (either draft or bottled). However if other people like it - great - then they go there, I go elsewhere and we're all happy. Re the Palmeston and the Herne - you don't like them, you don't like what they do - but others do and others frequent them. Why don't we all get over saying what we don't like is wrong and what we do like is right and just accept that different people want different things. I hope that if the CPT does close down, it is replaced by something that suits the regulars and NOT another Palmeston/Herne/gastopub, as there should be room for all people with all tastes.

This is so how I feel - out of control and angry. Sometimes in the crush at London Bridge station I feel like shouting out 'look at us all - why do we put up with this?' ....

Good point well put - however ALL smoking harms other people around them - every single time a cigarette is lit; whilst the fast car knocking you over is a one off (one hopes) -
Ah - but do they do size 8?

Not in the same way as smoking though. If I drink too much then there might be an indirect effect on you via higher taxes to pay for my treatment if I become ill from alcohol abuse, or possibly a direct effect if I caused you or a loved one physical harm whilst under the influence. However if you smoke a cigarette near me then you will directly harm my health from the secondary smoke. However I do agree that we live in a Nanny State. These EC directives are issued to all member states, but most countries just nod and grin - whilst the UK seems to take great pleasure in obeying even the most obscure. -

Only to win and lose all your friends and have a nervous breakdown. I wish I had a pair of Manolo Blaniks in my shoe size.
